Great Expectations
Movie description:
An imaginative resetting of the Charles Dickens novel from the Thames Estuary to Florida. In this version 10 year old Finn comes across an escaped convict (Robert de Niro), whom he reluctantly helps. Finn goes with his father to visit an old lady on her decayed estate. To everyone’s surprise, Finn is invited back to visit. There he encounters the exotic but icy Estella who entraps Finn into a kiss, he doesn’t know whether he has done the worst possible thing or the right thing.

Based on Charles Dickens’ timeless tale, this is a story of the love of a man for an unreachable woman. Updated to modern day New York City, the story concerns a man of modest background who falls in love with a rich girl. But when a mysterious benefactor green lights the man to make his dreams come true, everything done has the ultimate goal of making Estella fall in love with him ...
An American update of the Dickens novel set on Florida’s Gulf Coast and in the 1980’s SoHo art world. Character’s names have been changed from the source novel.
